| We need to figure out how to reduce some of the numbers, ie: sponserships and such.It seems that FLY has stepped up for the gear side of the house, but some help on the hard parts side would be a big help. |

Yvonne is so true, When you use AHSCS series sponsors make sure they know you are from AHSCS and you are there because they support the series and how much you appreciate them doing so.
Sean, As a Quality Mgr I use data to improve a process. The best thing about keeping track of expenses is that you know where the money is going and where it can be improved. Like Jake doing more top-end on his 125 vs 1 rebuild on a 4st. vs years of service out of a 300xc. I know I’m careful of other things like boot sizes that I get so that the next Kid in line can use them also. It is impossible to predict all expenses but preparing for possibilities and saving were you can helps a lot.
The A-Team was created to help each other, build great racers and encourage new riders. We share Truck pools, Parts, Labor, Ideas, Training, Motivation, Pits, well everything to help each other race. It has been vary helpful and has brought in some Team sponsors “Freegun, AXO, Renthal, MotoTassinari, Matrix, Scott, FMF” to our Individual riders sponsors. Most sponsors give us a very good discount, some give us stuff, and we sell Freegun to make money. Know I hope that some of these racers make money racing some day but I know that is very unlikely. The payback comes from challenging the racers to aim at any goal they want to achieve. We are still learning and plan on building in the future.

| Thank you to Yvonne and Rob. I'm still pretty new to this series and although I did a bit of motocross in years past, this is my first real effort at racing a whole series. I'm finding that there is alot more involved than just hitting the local moto track every now and then. Plus it's hard to keep the Boss/Wife happy when everything is going out with nothing monetary comming in. (Ha Ha) I have been fortunate that I haven't had any major breakdowns so far, although I will now since I said that, but as Rob mentioned about the 300XC, thats why I chose the 2T 200XC. Most everything I can do myself and overall costs seem to be lower. We all have to pay for our hobbies, and for me, I feel I get a good bang for my buck with this one. Thanks to everyone in the series. |

| Yvonne, I tried that and it didn't go over real well. Ha Ha, but I got our granddaughter a 90cc pitbike and she loves it. Just have to get her practiced up before I can turn her loose on a track. She has never ridden before now and she will be 12 soon, so I'm not able to start her on the kids course. Its awesome that y'all have the whole family involved. You can't put a price on happy and enjoyment. Anyway, can't wait til Sept and Shelby, great tool to help identify where it all goes and direct it where best. |
